Hello everybody!
I found a bug related to building tar files with tar task.
In org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Tar:
protected void tarFile(File file, TarOutputStream tOut, String
vPath)
throws IOException
{
[....]
te.setModTime(file.lastModified() / 1000);
[...]
}
The return of lastModified is divided by 1000 to translate milliseconds
to seconds, but
org.apache.tools.ant.tar.TarEntry.setModTime expect a Java time (in
milliseconds) also:
public void setModTime(long time) {
this.modTime = time / 1000;
}
Fixed:
in org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Tar.tarFile remove the "/ 1000".
Suggestion:
Probably a function to translate Java time to unix time will be a good
idea (take a look into org.apache.tools.ant.tar.TarEntry: there are a
lot of "/ 1000" :-)
Thank you.
